On the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the framework of the Syrian War

Published: 07 September 2021
|
Category: Publications
The Budapest Centre is proud to present the new piece of its Artificial Intelligence series On the Use of Artificial Intelligence in the framework of the Syrian War.

This paper innovatively provides a compilation of AI weapons and tools applied by a multitude of actors during the conflict and concludes by stating how their employment jeopardizes human rights, thereby stressing the necessity of a universal regulation on the development and misuse of AI - from the perspective of mass atrocities.

We wish to point out that Artificial Intelligence plays an increasing role in conflict scenarios: At the same time that it has become a tool for human rights violations, it also holds the potential to play a positive role in genocide prevention, victims’ support, and reconstruction.

Misuse of Artificial Intelligence: Occupied Palestinian Territories. Case study

Published: 16 July 2021
|
Category: Publications
The Budapest Centre is proud to share its latest policy paper Misuse of Artificial Intelligence: Occupied Palestinian Territories. Case study.

As a new piece of the Artificial Intelligence series of the Budapest Centre for Mass Atrocities Prevention, this paper offers an insight on how the Israeli authorities apply tools of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Occupied Palestinian Territories by pointing to the significance and risks of using AI during conflict—without wishing to provide an exhaustive and detailed list of challenges and their respective international activities. Our aim is to further engender the International Community’s political will to address these threats from the perspective of conflict escalation and mass atrocity crimes prevention.

The authors and the Budapest Centre hope that this research will prove useful in particular for young readers who wish to learn more about the ongoing conflict in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the role AI plays in mass atrocity crimes.

Check out the latest high-level event on the Uyghur Question

Published: 17 May 2021
|
Category: Events
The Budapest Centre for Mass Atrocities Prevention strongly encourages its visitors to take a look at the following high-level event that took place on the 12th of May. The event comprised both State Representatives, members of NGOs and civil society organizations, academics and personal testimonies.

The international community has been brought together to take a stand in the Uyghur Question on this occasion, and some of the propositions and requests consisted of: a tougher response on the part of the UN over China in order to take steps to solve the issue, including a more present stance by the Human Rights Council, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner, and the General Assembly; the imposition of an international and independent investigative mechanism in order to examine and monitor human rights violations in the region and hold perpetrators accountable; the end of importation from Xinjiang to avoid financing abuses.

The position of the speakers can be efficiently summarized by the words of Agnès Callamard, current Secretary-General of Amnesty International, who stressed that silence regarding the situation in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region “tarnishes the human rights system, weakens the UN overall and betrays our duty to the people of China”.

In supporting the efforts for peace and dialogue of the HWPL, the Budapest Centre shares below its statement on the situation in Myanmar

Published: 03 April 2021
|
Category: News
We also share the Joint Statement of Alice Wairimu Nderitu, United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, and Michelle Bachelet, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, on the situation in Myanmar.

Regrettably, the UN Security Council has not learned the lessons of the genocide committed against the Rohingya people in 2016: its statement released yesterday fails to decide on taking prompt and effective steps for preventing the escalation of the crisis and protecting the population of Myanmar from mass atrocity crimes.
